Look I had an MRI the other day..I was in the office 30 minutes, and the bill was $1400. If the free market was allowed to work and the insurance company wasn’t controlling the cost structure, that procedure would probably be around $250.

How does it benefit the insurance company for the cost to be $1400. Do you have insurance? If so do you actually look at EOB's when issued? The insurance company probably only paid $250 dollars. To a large extent the $1400 dollars is caused by the government intrusion into the industry.

Box up a couple o' chickens and mail them to the insurance company, tell them it's the best you can do.
(don't forget to punch some air holes in the box before mailing ;)
